We Have Arrived!
On
August 9-12, 2001, the spotlight will focus on Durham, North Carolina,
and the historic Carolina Theatre in downtown Durham at "ARRIVAL:
the 6th Annual North Carolina Gay and Lesbian Film Festival."
Promising to be our biggest festival yet, the NCGLFF will feature
70 features, shorts, documentaries, and experimental films, including
37 North Carolina premieres. Certainly, the NCGLFF has arrived
on the film festival circuit as the place to debut queer film
in the Southeast.
Some
of the premieres and other notable films include:
- "Hedwig
and the Angry Inch" (Audience Award Winner, 2001 Sundance
Film Festival)
- "Revoir
Julie"
- "Lost
and Delirious" (Directed by Lea Pool)
- "Sex
Becomes Her: The True Life Story of Chi Chi LaRue"
- "All
Over the Guy"
- "Scout's
Honor"
See these NCGLFF 2001 web pages for the festival
schedule or film descriptions.
Listings for films in the short
programs are also available.
